It is with great sadness that I send prayers and love to the family of Jim LeBrun. May all your memories of this wonderful man sustain you during this difficult time. I called him Jimmy, he was to me like the brother I never had. We shared many laughs together along with Melva who is and always was like a sister to me. Rip big brother.

Uncle Jimmie always had a big hug for me whenever we were able to visit. He always had a smile and was a funny guy to be around. He adored my Aunt Melva and my heart aches for her and his family. Rest in Peace Uncle Jimmie. Give Grammie & Pepere a big hug for me. Much Love to you all. Kat (LeBrun) Bratt
